Garage sales were pretty good today. Found two bikes, a mixte and a mtb, both in woefully neglected condition, but both at typical garage sale prices. I avoid picking up mtbs, except as donors, as by the time I am done rebuilding them, I am typically upside down. No thanks. This one is different, it is a 1988 Schwinn Cimarron LE. Its toward the big size for me, but if it fits, I will be retiring another MTB. If not, its a good one.
The mixte is going to have to wait for the next OA rust campaign, really overdue to do this anyway.
Surprisingly, this garage sale actually listed a Fuji and Schwinn bike in the ad, and we got there 1 1/2 hours after the sale began. No idea why they were still there. Odd really.
Six in six days...Thats enough.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
